ats Convenicnces as Summer Resort
for washingtonians.
Special Corresr ondencc of THE CRiTIc.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April ST. pre-
sumo the question Of selecting a place
where the summer may be pleasantly passed
is being discussed very freely just now in
Washington circles, as 1t is everywhere else,
especially since the advent OF spring weather
has reminded everybody that the hsatel
term will soon be upon us.
From what l can learn we are to be
honored this year more largely than ever be-
fore by the presence Of Washingtonians. Ia
fact, the tide has been setting this way more
and more strongly for several years, and the
presence here last summer OF your crack
military organization, the Washington Light
Infantry (which corps was in camp for q
week on the grounds OF the United States
Hotel), had the effect TO attract very many
OF your citizens, some OF whom, coming for
the first time, received impressions Of At.
lantic City which were SO favorable that we
are not surprised to know there is to be n
good deal Of Washington society here during
the coming summer.
And why not' Where is there better or
safer surf-bathing? Where smoother roads
toh NhCiO ouPViiOi ioi
boating, yachting and fishing? Where q
more salubrious climateY Where locality
In which country and seashore are more
charmiDgly combinedp And last, but not
least, where, under the sun, is there re-
sort which can boast of better hotels?
Then, too, how easy Of access Atlantic
City is. Reached by means Of two well-man-
aged and tlnely-appointed railroad lines,
the heat Of your city may, In six hours, be
exchanged for the invigoratirg brcezes Of
the seashore; and, being at distance OF
more than fifty miles from the nearest large
city, the rougher elements Of society, that
frequent many watering-places nearer large
towns, are avoided. Here absolute rest and
comfort are secured, every reasonable wish
may be gratifed, every shade Of fancy in
duIged, and at prices to suit all tastes; uu-
til, at the close OF the season, sojourners
may return to their homes strengthened and
refreshed by the bracing atmosphere, and
with the most agreeable recollections Of the
social life which they have enjoyed In large
measure at Atlantic City.
l have alluded to the hotels OF Atlantic
City, but, as the subject is an important one,
i must reserve II for my next letter. The
public houses here are numerous, most OF
them good, many Of them excellent, and
some OF them paiatial; while at not few
special attention is paid to the care OF fam
lilies who desire home comforts AMI care
more for substance than show. More anon.

AN ERUDuTE MAID.

Helen Halstead Herrick was an erudtle
young maiden
Who lived in Boston, where, It's said,
. much erudltlon grows;
With a weight OF wondrous learning was
her youthful mind o'erladen,
ana, TO her, bloom meant Botany, and
not simple rose.
She translated Greek and Sanscrit and she
'did undo the Persian;'
Carlyle and Herbert Spencer helped to
feed her hungry brain;
While for trashy Eighty writer's she pro-
fessed great aversion,
And turned her Grecian nose aloft with
Infinite disdain.
She explained with perfect clearness all her
views on evolution,
And told with modest pride about her
first ancestors birth.
Hispre.Adamito and globulite and airy con
stitutlon
When first he formed himself to live upon
this sordid earth.
She entered Chautauqua class to stuff
herself with knowledge,
And studied many mouldy books she
could not understands;
Aud all the brilliant graduates from Yale
and Harvard College
Declared she was the brightest girl
throughout their Yankee land.
Indeed when all the world was dark her
beacon burned most brightly;
What think you she was coming through
the secret midnight hours?
Why, the novels by The Duchess, most
frivolous and sprightly,
Where the love talk and the nonsense AMI
the kisses came In showers.

"a young friend Of mine was cured OF an
Unsuitable thirst for liquor that had SO pros

burning thirst; took away the appetite for
liquor; made his nerves steady; and he has

than two years, and has no desire to return

pastor Of Waugh NJ. L. Church, in the
Post to-day, says II he had his way he
would not allow either ice or milk to be
sold on Sunday, because, forsooth, they are

A Northern Prevaricator ISLANDERS the
Morality OF San Antonio.
Some Of the northern papers seem to
love to lie about Texas, and Ii must be
confessed that they do 1t well. The
Philadelphia Press thus writes OF d.
vor' in San Antonio and Galveston:
Great stories are told of the ease
the divorce mills in Rhode Island and
Illinois, but as near as | can make out
Texas Is the truly happy land for the
unhappily welded. 10 get q divorce In
Texas you have to be real estate
owner. Never mind long residence or
anything OF that sort. "You pay
your taxes and you get your d.
vorce,' Ia the way IL runs Now,
wherever there Is will of the court
you know, there's always a "way" OF
getting around 1t. You can buy a d.
vorce lot In San Antonio or Galveston
for $l5 large enough to satisfy in every
way the demands OF the court. Ii may
be good for nothing but TO grow mos
quitoes and malaria on, but 1t answers
every purpose. You pay SIS for 1t. and
etiquette demands that when you are
through with Ii You shall likewise sell II
neither "bulling" nor clearing" is al
lowed"
Galveston is able to take up the cud-
gels on her own behalf, and the LIGHT
leaves It to do so, but for San Antonio 1t
denounces the statement as SANDER
upon the people Of the city.
